December 5, 2012 


A wonderful child

Who loves to sing,

Kisses like honey

Locks curled into rings… 


Beautiful heart

Loving and kind,

Swirls of sunshine

Dancing with time… 



Talented artist


Thinking all things through,

Figuring out life and

Trying to be true… 

















So proud of you

Watching you grow,

A lady to be sure

My darling where you will go! 

With love and great affection

my sweet girl, ~Mama
